The Sonepur Mela is known as Asia's biggest cattle fair where, not only cattle but also horses and elephants are sold. The Mela is held during the Kartika month that stretches from the months of November and December. The horses are brought from across the country for selling, and the prices vary from around sixty thousand to more than a million, depending upon the use they are put to. Some are used for racing which are, quite obviously costliest, some for domestication, others for pulling carts or grooms mount.
